Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Crestwood Chapel for Mrs. Mary Ruth Massey, age 93, of Gadsden, who passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. Reverend Billy Boatwright will officiate. Burial will follow at Crestwood Cemetery.

Mrs. Massey lived her life for the Lord. A devoted Christian, she deeply loved her church and was always willing to lend a hand—whether to her church family or anyone in need. She was a precious soul, loved by all who knew her, and she will be dearly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Emmitt Massey; stepchildren, Patsy and Mike; and eight siblings.

She is survived by her son, Mark; brother, Billy (Brenda) Boatwright; grandson, Larry (Denice) Brinson; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Dianne and Brenda for their loving care.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Monday from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service.
